The following procedure describes how to install a slot filler panel in the FortiGate-5001A front panel AMC opening. The FortiGate-5001A-DW board includes one AMC double-width slot filler panel and the FortiGate-5001A-SW board includes one AMC single-width slot filler panel.

Caution: Do not operate the FortiGate-5001A board with an open AMC opening. For optimum cooling performance and safety, the AMC opening must contain a slot filler panel or a FortiGate AMC module.

Caution: Because the FortiGate-5001A board does not support hot swapping AMC modules, you must eject the FortiGate-5001A board from its chassis slot and completely open the handles before inserting or removing AMC modules or slot filler panels.

To install an AMC slot filler panel

To complete this procedure, you need:

•FortiGate-5001A board with an empty AMC slot

•An electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap with connection cord

Caution: FortiGate-5001A boards must be protected from static discharge and physical shock. Only handle or work with FortiGate-5001A boards at a static-free workstation. Always wear a grounded electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap when handling FortiGate-5001A boards.

1Attach the ESD wrist strap to your wrist and to an available ESD socket or wrist strap terminal.

2Eject the FortiGate-5001A board from the chassis slot.

3With the FortiGate-5001A left (top) handle fully open, pull the latch on the slot filler front panel to the extended position.

4Insert the slot filler panel by applying moderate force to the front faceplate to slide the slot filler panel into the opening.

The slot filler panel should glide smoothly into the opening. If you encounter any resistance while sliding the slot filler panel in, the slot filler panel could be aligned incorrectly. Pull the slot filler panel back out and try inserting it again.

5Press the latch in the slot filler front panel to lock in the slot filler panel.
